The manufacturing industry has been facing great challenges for some time now: Several prolonged global crises have led to a decline in orders, and companies see their situation as worse than at the beginning of the year. Our distributors are also experiencing declining sales. This is why it's all the more important for us to face these difficult times together. Therefore, the two Customer Days held at our headquarters in Buseck in September were all about partnership and how we can focus more on our core business while taking into account demographic and technological developments.
What if you could always access all your product information – even when you're on the road? ABIDOC makes it possible.
On August 16th, our new apprentices started a new chapter in their lives with their first working day at ABICOR BINZEL. During the day, they realized that from now on they will help to make our everyday life better with welding technology. Whether in cars, bridges or electricity from the socket – welding technology is used everywhere. As part of ABICOR BINZEL, our new trainees are actively shaping the future of welding technology.
Imagine walking into a trade show feeling like you're at a rock festival. Thrilling beats combined with the latest technology and exciting new things to discover around every corner. Welcome to the URBAN STEEL ROCKSTARS Festival!
From June 3rd to 14th, our Traderunner – a fully functional mobile welding showroom with integrated products – was on an exciting journey through Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The aim of this tour was to present our iBOTone® welding cobot directly to customers on site and to demonstrate live its wide range of applications. Our ABICOR BINZEL team visited around 20 companies during this tour, including the Polish manufacturers PBL Problach and M-metal. The companies came from different areas of metal processing, such as transformer and tank construction.
From April 15th to 19th, everything literally revolved around pipes, pipe accessories and techniques for pipe processing – and ABICOR BINZEL presented a range of pipe welding products at its own booth. These included the ABIBUG® 300, the iST ARC sensors (iSENSE TRACK ARC) and coated contact tips.
On March 20th, 2024, ABICOR BINZEL celebrated a very special milestone: The reopening of the South African subsidiary, Kempton Park. ABICOR BINZEL has been active in South Africa for more than 35 years. With the brand-new location there are now even more opportunities to support the region economically and to supply it with welding technology from the world market leader in arc welding.
Since 1 February 2024, the strong brands of the Industrie-Beteiligungs-Gesellschaft (IBG) from the business areas cutting, welding, systems and components have been united under the new umbrella brand ABICOR GROUP. Therefore also ABICOR BINZEL. With this change, manufacturing companies in the metal industry will be able to find exactly the right solution for their individual requirements from the entire portfolio of the ABICOR GROUP. This applies to products and system solutions as well as to expert knowledge and process optimization.
You never stop learning during your apprenticeship. Day after day, the apprentices gather new impressions – both in the vocational school and in the company. Shortly before Christmas, ABICOR BINZEL was able to organize the seminar day "Trainee-Fit" together with the german health insurance BARMER. On this day, the ABICOR BINZEL apprentices focused on the topics of training, motivation, sport and health. It was a great experience to have a former professional athlete take part in this event: Frank Busemann. He is an absolute expert when it comes to self-motivation and perseverance.
Last year was very exciting with the successful comeback of SCHWEISSEN & SCHNEIDEN, but that doesn't mean that we are taking a break. On the contrary – this year promises to be even more interesting, not only for our headquarters in Buseck, but also for our subsidiaries, sister companies, dealers, and all welding technology enthusiasts.
